Not only should it be added to the English lexicon, Dumbgerous Awards should be bestowed on an annual basis. It’s only May, but there are strong contenders for 2025. Last week, a divided Colorado Supreme Court decided to let a lawsuit by local government officials proceed against Suncor and ExxonMobil, accusing them of causing global warming and harming the city and county of Boulder. If the suit ultimately succeeds, it will raise the price of gasoline. That’s partly the purpose, an attorney for the plaintiffs admitted. It also sets a bad precedent. In the words of the dissenting justices: “Boulder is not its own republic … it has absolutely no right to file claims that will both effectively regulate interstate air pollution and have more than an incidental effect on foreign affairs.” Courts have wisely dismissed similar suits in several states.
